Tax week and tax month calendar
Description

Tax periods determine the tax and national insurance thresholds used to calculate your employees' pay. This also depends on what pay date you use and the pay frequency. You can check the tax period your pay date falls into using the linked tax calendars below or the charts further down this guide.

The deadline to submit a Full Payment Submission (FPS) is on or before you pay the employees. HMRC uses the pay date contained in the submission to determine if you've submitted late or not. It's important that you understand what this means to you and your employees. What date to use when processing under Real Time Information (RTI)

 NOTE: As 2024 is a leap year, week 53 in the 2023/2024 tax year contains two days.
